We have been notified by the Ministry of Justice that it has identified a need for extensive remedial work to Peterborough Magistrates' Court heating and air conditioning systems.

We understand that capital works funding has now been approved for this work to go ahead. This is a substantial investment which indicates a commitment to the future of local hearings at Peterborough.

This work is expected to take in the region of 6 months to complete and during that time it will not be possible to hold court hearings or operate an administrative office in the courthouse.

The court plans for administrative staff to decamp to Peterborough Combined Court and Magistrates' Court hearings will be listed in Cambridge, Huntingdon and where possible somewhere in Peterborough. Legal advisers will be based in the various courthouses.
